Solving the mystery of Obake rice in Africa: Population structure analyses of Oryza longistaminata reveal three genetic groups and evidence of both recent and ancient introgression... por Labroo, Marlee R., Clark, Lindsay V., Zhang, Shilai, Hu, Fengyi, Tao, Dayun, Hamilton, Ruaraidh Sackville, Sacks, Erik J.

“…To facilitate the conservation, management, and use of O. longistaminata germplasm, we sought to quantify the population structure and diversity of this species across its geographic range, which includes most of sub-Saharan Africa, and to determine phylogenetic relationships to other AA-genome species of rice present in Africa, including the prevalence of interspecific hybridization between O. longistaminata and O. sativa. …”

Impacts of rodent outbreaks on food security in Asia por Singleton, Grant R., Belmain, Steven, Brown, Peter R., Aplin, Ken, Htwe, Nyo Me

“…Implications of the research are as follows: (i) rodent outbreaks are a consequence of enhanced reproduction and natural mortality is of minor importance, particularly with rapidly increasing populations; therefore, we need to focus more on methods for disrupting reproduction; (ii) a stronger understanding of the ecology of pest species and community dynamics will enable ecologically sustainable management; (iii) we need landscape approaches that focus on crop synchrony, and timely coordinated community action to manage pest species and conserve desirable species; and (iv) a simple monitoring system can help implement ecologically based rodent management.…”
